Tune It or Lose It: Fundamental Movement Hacks for the Imperfect Human with Gabe Metzger PT, DPT
A specialized workshop for alignment, performance, balance, restoration, muscle activation, pain management and self-massage with lecture and discussion.
Date: Sunday, April 28
Time: 1:00-4:00pm
Cost: $125
Location: 10124 E St. Truckee, CA
PLEASE BRING: your massage balls, rollers, favorite mobility tools, a yoga mat, a chair and yoga blocks (if possible). Some of these tools will be available for those that do not have.
Do you have recurring pain when active or inactive? Have you ever wondered why you stand towards one side or why your left and right ski turns are not symmetrical? Have you or others noted twists and torsions in your spine or pelvis? Do you have issues activating certain muscles during activity? These are symptoms of lateralization and are inherent to humankind; regardless of handedness.
Like all animals, humans are not symmetrical beings. Our organs and respiratory diaphragms are different right to left and this causes EVERY ONE OF US to wind-up into common human patterns. Aside from affecting muscle control, strength and performance, these patterns are often the origin of dysfunction and pain.
Learn to recalibrate and balance the body with:
Self-massage using balls and rollers
Corrective movements for the pelvis, spine, hips and torso
Reactivation of inhibited muscles
Lecture and Movement Lab
Through a combination of lecture, self soft-tissue release using balls and rollers, and corrective movements for recalibrating the pelvis, spine, hips and torso, you will effectively "turn on" inhibited muscles and correct spinal and pelvic torsions.
Participants will have access to key concepts, drills and other considerations from this workshop via COACHNOW, an interactive coaching app.
Key concepts are drawn from the Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) and Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT).
